Church organists rarely get a chance to hear others lead hymns! In this workshop participants will form a group of practicing organists, and gain inspiration and insights into leading strong congregational singing through masterclass sessions including: 
  • registration
  • voicing
  • articulation
  • basic improvisation
  • and more

The workshop will conclude with a hymn festival at Augsburg Lutheran Church (45-rank Casavant/Létourneau) led by workshop participants.
